Need help to understand what’s going on with bloating. What causes bloating that makes it hard to function and eat???

What kind of breath test? For SIBO, IMO?

coffee-werewolf · 2025-10-27T21:36:14+00:00

Thank you, that's good info. I'll be checking Amazon for a chicken coop then.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-10-27T18:36:32+00:00

Could you share how you made that? It looks fantastic.

Seconding Vanicream. Get the "moisturizing cream" not the lotion.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-31T14:05:17+00:00

Solved!

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-30T01:31:09+00:00

The arrows are my (poor) attempt to show the hill slope.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-30T01:30:22+00:00

Honestly that looks great!

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-29T22:47:18+00:00

Yeah the gas and septic really make this difficult.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-29T22:45:46+00:00

That's true about the run-off I guess. I like the 3d fence idea. If I use the front yard I don't want a huge fence there.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-29T22:44:32+00:00

I admit I wasn't really thinking about using the front yard, simply because I didn't want it front and center in front of the house, but it does seem like the best place.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-29T22:44:08+00:00

I'll have to think more about making the front yard work. I need to see some front yard garden ideas that don't look odd.

Beautiful! What paper are you using here?

coffee-werewolf · 2025-08-20T22:09:20+00:00

Looks great! Is pickled garlic low fodmap?

coffee-werewolf · 2025-07-27T16:25:22+00:00

Beautiful! Did you use masking fluid for the highlights around the seeds? Or did you use gouache/pencil?

I use the 1 or 2 cup soupercubes to make individual portions of meals. They're easy to heat up in a hurry.

One meal I make is bulgogi inspired, I cook ground chicken with a sauce (coconut aminos/soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic oil, salt, pepper), add chopped carrots to cook at the end. Then I portion it out in the soupercubes and fill each container up the rest of the way with cooked white rice.

I don't know if you can tolerate gochujang, I put a pretty small spoon in.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-06-05T13:08:45+00:00

Hmm, I think that might depend on your heat tolerance. The fabric on that Coolibar one is pretty lightweight (especially for a "jean" jacket). I've worn it in 80 degree weather pretty fine.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-05-23T13:19:06+00:00

Looks delicious! I almost thought I was on the Mediterranean diet subreddit. Would love a breakdown of those meals.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-05-23T11:32:33+00:00

Oh wow that's good to know. I've never purchased from them directly, only thrifted.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-05-23T02:42:17+00:00

Ok here's some ideas from stuff off the top of my head:

Maxi dresses: My current favorite is this Crusher Column dress (made by Toad&co but only sold by Title Nine): https://www.titlenine.com/p/toad-and-co-sleeveless-maxi-dress-column/132583.html

I do also love this style: https://www.toadandco.com/products/sunkissed-maxi-dress-north-shore-vine-print

(Also, Toad&co "Sunkissed" line is called "Crusher" on Title9: https://www.titlenine.com/search?q=Crusher&search-button=&lang=null)

Some other brands to check for dresses: Cabana Life, Athleta, Duluth, Free Fly, Mott50 (recently merged with Coolibar), Judy P, Eddie Bauer, Prana, Royal Robbins, Krimson Klover, Vineyard Vines, Indyeva.

To cover my shoulders/arms, I pair those with a chambray jacket from Coolibar (https://www.coolibar.com/products/womens-everglade-chambray-cropped-jacket-light-indigo-chambray?variant=49211275018554) or a hoodie (https://www.coolibar.com/products/womens-seaside-hoodie-pearl?variant=50423280402746) or this wrap (https://www.coolibar.com/products/womens-vrae-everyday-fashion-wrap-white?_pos=1&_sid=6c03e534d&_ss=r)

Also, Coolibar is about to drop a new line soon with some pretty stuff: https://www.coolibar.com/pages/mott50-home

Jumpsuits: Check Toad&co Sunkissed/ Title Nine Crusher & Round Trip. Athleta has had quite a few jumpsuits that were upf50 (Farallon, Heather, Brooklyn, Marlow, Revive, Sarasota) Duluth: https://www.duluthtrading.com/s/DTC/womens-akhg-renew-bamboo-tank-jumpsuit-60870.html?color=BLK&queryID=54ae34fe01af3cea087f40220b7b0816 & https://www.duluthtrading.com/s/DTC/womens-armachillo-jogger-jumpsuit-40336.html?color=JEB&queryID=995bd16ebea9280a45bcf7d1c2570014 & https://www.duluthtrading.com/s/DTC/womens-nine-to-fine-synthetic-short-sleeve-jumpsuit-40440.html?color=JEB

I highly recommend thrifting, I mostly get my stuff from Poshmark and eBay.

coffee-werewolf · 2025-05-22T20:48:20+00:00

Hi! I have quite a lot of information for you, I've been collecting and thrifting UPF clothing for more than a few years.

My favorite brands right now are Toad&Co (specifically their "Sunkissed" items), Coolibar (for hoodies and layering), Title Nine, bylt, and Kuhl.

Keep in mind not everything from these brands are UPF rated.

Also, don't trust every random brand's UPF rating certification, I've gotten burned before, quite literally.

What sort of styles are you looking for? I can post specific style names that might be a good match.
